Why we don't join politics ..

We have been seeing a lot of well-justified outrage against politicians these days. They have proven themselves less-competent than some of the lowest performing employees of public/private sectors. People want to replace them, but then replace with what? Another ‘lesser‘ less competent politician or some one who is slightly better ? There are not very exciting options here. And why? In India, who joins politics? ‘Most of them’ are left over guys who couldn’t do well in studies like their mates in becoming MBA/Techie or other professional or who gets it in VIRASAT. Yes , quite a lot with hard life and dedication as well , but what percentage ? Probably less than 1 %. India delivers best engineers, managers to the world but not best politicians, why ? When I started thinking about it , I thought of starting from people around me (who are well off in their fields) and asked them why they didn’t join politics.
1. To start with they never never considered politics as a profession or career path.
2. No well wisher/teacher/elder person asked them to go into it.
3. we saw and developed the impression that politics is not for elite-educated people and certainly not for youth. Its either for dirty people or for old generation.
4. Most of the Politicians are gundas/mawalis (goons/thugs).We can't deal with/against them.

Isn’t it irony that politics is perhaps the easiest job one can get into. You need no qualifications, you need no decent background. You just need to start with publicity ( good or bad doesn’t matter … or wait … bad one would help more perhaps).
You are ex-criminal and wanna have change, join politics.
You are corrupt and have taken bribes, still you can be CM and minister.
You lost elections , don't worry, you can still be Minister in central govt as Rajya sabha Member.

No surprise, this has led us to the present situation when country and its security are handled by some of the worst eligible people.


Then what we should so? Simply join the politics?
If I join politics today, most probably I would be no-where in few years unless I get support for people who are ‘like me’ which are already very rare in politics. Probably, to start with , it should be started with political reforms. We need to work to make politics as a ‘career’ or rather ‘profession’. People need to get feeling that they have to have certain qualities to get into it, be it educational or social ones. Strict rules should be enforced to keep anti-social elements out of politics. Politicians should be given high salaries and perks at the same time corruption for them should be trialed against a dedicated stringent law ( like POTA for terrorism ). This would help in creating clean system to right people to stay on. Highlight good work by politicians to increase their visibility and to improve public attitude towards politicians.
One big questions , above and more changes, who’ll do that ?
I think , this is the direction ( one of the directions ) we should channelize our current zeal and anger into, Media, celebrities and Social Groups should drive this for execution. At present I am not able to think of an concrete plan, do you have one for this ?

Yet Another Attack !

“Mumbai pe attack ho gaya terrorists ka” were the words my brother told me when I got up in the morning . I thought it might be another car-explosion or market side attack ( those have become so frequent in India ) but what was shown on TV was horribly worse than that. Some premier Mumbai institutions were captured and people were mercilessly killed. 60 hrs it took to flush out 10-12 terrorists ( 24 ? ) . I, sitting hundreds of miles away from Mumbai was feeling hurt and anger , I can imagine how Mumbaikars were feeling. With all due respect to NSG and security forces , it was really frustrating to see politicians and journalists commenting after everything was over with dialogues like “India won over Terror” ,”Terrorists defeated”, “Terror ko muh-taud jawab” etc etc. 60 Hrs me 12 militants to mara jau anyway aaye he marne ke irade se the , but apne saath 200+ logon ko le gaye, its not triumph. This is shameful . MuhTod jawab tau jab hota agar India PoK and Lahore me terrorists camps per attack kar de. Munikh Olympics me Israeli atheletes were hostaged and killed by militants . Within days after that , Israel killed each and every person responsible for that and that also by entering on their territories like their hideouts in Europe , Lebanan etc. This is called “Muh Tod Jawab”. Not the one , we did.
Those militants were wearing top European brand clothes, were well built and so relaxed while roaming and shooting. It’s really scary to think that there are many more like these people in Pakistan and other countries. As usual ,our Govt . would talk harshly to Pak for few days and then every thing will be forgotten. What happened after Jaipur and Delhi blasts , did we catch the real culprits ? US when attacked by terrorists, decided to reply in same tone by attacking Afganistan and tribal Pak. But we can’t do same in PoK, why ?
Are we scared that Pakistan would use Nuclear Bomb ? Well, in all cases , it won’t. Just think about it.
Also, Pak has said in front of the international community that he will assist any move to curb terrorism as it’s a disease for him as well. By that , if India attacks terrorists training camps in PoK, pak should assist us. India need to talk to US, UK and Israel and start a join operation to destroy training camps in Lahore , Afganistan , PoK and certain parts of Aerab.Any action lesser than this would ensure that terrorists do it again and again and in increasing level of cruelty.
